Another problem
 

Ok, my 90 4runner also has a bad relay in the little black box that goes back in behind one of the storage doors?, that operates my tailgate motor. I already replaced the tailgate motor ($130/Kragen), but it still doesn't work. So, my neighbor/mechanic said that one of the relays are bad? And they are not removable from this box. I called Toyota and they want $408.00 for this thing! Yeah Right!

I guess I need to keep calling around. I've been out to a couple of Pick-N-Pulls and there are no 4 Runners to be found!

The relays are removable, there's 4 or 5 of them on a circuit board. If you can tell which one is bad it's easy enough to replace. I remember reading a write up somewhere about someone who had done this. I'll have a search and see if I can find it.

Edit, didn't take too long. Roger Brown's site, 4crawler.com is always a good place to start for 4Runner problems. There's some good info in here about testing the window, and replacing relays.

Really? My mechanic said the relays were not removable?! Thanks for the info!
